Survivor Saijaku no Ore wa Hazure skill “Faker” de Tenshina Kanojo to S rank wo Mezasu

I’ve defeated two giant ogres, which are D-rank monsters, in the course of battles.

Normally, it would be unthinkable for me, who leveled up just a while ago, to become level 9 so soon. But, my opponents were D-ranks. From my point of view, whose rank was merely F, they were super high-rank opponents.

There may be only two D-ranks, but if I include other monsters that I’ve defeated since New Year, it would be no surprise if I leveled up.

Honestly, it is just my wishful thinking, but the current me can’t help but cling to this possibility.

Facing the incoming giant ogre, I shout out the name of my most powerful skill to activate it.

“Please, please end with this. [Vortex Fire]!”

The flame thunder skill that should have been used up earlier was activated. It burned the body of the giant ogre, drilled a hole through it, and finished it off.

“I did it…… Haha……”

[Vortex Fire] skill, which should have been used up, actually did activate as I wished.

I think its firepower has also become a bit stronger.

I hurriedly checked my Status.

Survivor – LV 9

Skill –『Faker』《Explosion 1》《Vortex Fire 0》《Lightning 1》《Ice Javelin 0》《Wind Cutter 0》

As I thought, I rose to level 9. The skill-usable times of [Lightning] and [Explosion] had also increased by one each.

Although the number of skills I can imitate didn’t increase, it was a miracle that my skill-usable times increased with this timing.

“Rin-kun…… It took such a long time. I am sorry.”

Aoi, who was fighting at my rear, called out to me. She seemed to have finished her battle.

“There is no need to apologize. I’m glad that you are safe.”

“No, rather than me, Rin-kun should be worrying about yourself. You really ended up defeating two D-rank monsters.”

“Ahh, I was just lucky.”

“I saw that Rin-kun was in danger while I was fighting. And yet, I wasn’t able to do anything about it.”

“It’s not Aoi’s fault. The problem lies with me, who couldn’t handle the situation well.”

“Rin-kun…… I will become stronger… So that I can stand next to Rin-kun.”

“Alright~, or rather, it feels more like you’ve let me be by your side. It is because Aoi is by my side that I can do my best. Even now, I would probably have given up if not for Aoi.”

“Rin-kun……”

Aoi gazed at me with her moist eyes.

“Yamaoki-kun, you truly saved us. It is unbelievable, but are you really F-rank? You soloed two D-ranks. Moreover, looking at your fights, you aren’t a triple-skills holder, are you? But, to think that you are a quintuple-skills holder…… It feels unbelievable even after actually seeing it. Moreover, you possess the same skills as Thunder Emperor……”

“Ah~, no, that’s a little different. Does Aidani-senpai also know Kamiki-san?”

“Are you acquainted with Thunder Emperor? I’ve only seen him in action from a distance, but I can’t forget that skill after seeing it once.”

“Well, I suppose so. That must have been a great spectacle.”

“Why are you talking like it’s someone else’s business? You are also amazing!”

“I don’t think so, though.”

“It is hard to understand why a great survivor like you is rumored to be incompetent at the school. Instead, you should be famous as a talented person.”

“Me as a talented person…… Um~m, I can’t even imagine it.”

“Hah~…… Looks like you have very low self-esteem. Though Wakaba-san seems to know about it.”

“Yes, of course. Because Rin-kun is more amazing than anyone else.”

It is troubling that Aoi’s evaluation of me is too high as always.

“More importantly, let’s finish off the rock turtle first.”

Looking at it, Nozaki-san’s party was still fighting the rock turtle.

“Nozaki-san, we will also join the fight.”

“Oh, sorry for the troubles. It is harder than I expected. Our skills aren’t powerful enough to defeat it. Although we’ve managed to fend off its attacks, we don’t have enough firepower.”

It is true that its outer skin, including the shell, looked tough at a glance. So, it is no wonder that they are having a hard time.
